data_table v1.3.0: Dots renderer for status timelines + fix dag_engine_ui antipattern + pitfalls doc (issue 0081-O.5)

PARTE A - CellRenderer::Dots (v1.3.0):
- Add Dots=8 to CellRenderer enum (data_table_types.h)
- Add dots_separator/dots_max/dots_show_count/dots_glyph_size fields to ColumnSpec
- Implement draw_cell_custom case Dots in data_table.cpp
  - Parses comma-separated cell value into tokens
  - Looks up each token in badges for color + optional glyph override
  - Per-dot tooltip via tooltip_on_hover
- tql_emit: serialize renderer="dots" + dots_max/dots_show_count/dots_glyph_size/dots_separator
- tql_apply: deserialize all Dots fields
- tql_emit_test: +6 assertions (58 total, 0 failed)
- tql_apply_test: +8 assertions (114 total, 0 failed)
- test_column_specs: +2 tests (10/10 pass)

PARTE B - dag_engine_ui fix: 10 cols -> 6 cols (submodule commit 61314b7)

PARTE C - docs/capabilities/data_table_renderers.md:
- Update to v1.3.0
- Add decision tree for renderer selection
- Add CellRenderer::Dots section with canonical example
- Add Common pitfalls section (multiple columns, badge for free-text, etc.)
